The play was exceptionally well acted and the young people are• to be heartily congratulated on the very fine style in which it was presented. The scene of the play is laid in the living room of Henry Becker',, home. Henry Becker was the man- ager of the local Farmer's State Bank and was endeavoring to get control of the bank stock. Conse- quently he made a trip to Chicago to raise funds to purchase the stock from It1ontgomery Walsh, a bache- lor banker. Great trouble arises 'when Henry on his trip to Chicago visits the Black Bell and is seen there by a number of his friends with a beautiful blonde, whose name he • did not know. When Montgomery Whish tries to investigate the mat- ter and find out why Henry was to be found in such a place in company with this unknown woman, Henry to clear himself for the time states that this woman was his wife. The banker later visits the Becker hone. and Valentine Scott undertakes to. keep Mrs. Becker out of sight. She however makes more trouble by coming back too soon but Valentine' Scott rising to the occasion intro- duces her. as Henry's sister, Ada Becker. One lie leads to another and when Henry's cousin appeare Scott entangles affairs more and more by introducing her as Mrs. Henry Becker. Walter Dow, an am- bitious young advertising man has: one main ambition and that is to make Ada mistress of his beautiful' home with red geraniums all around it, down in Los Angeles. Itis hopes are dashed to the ground when he finds the girl of his choice to be Mrs. Becker. A lady chiropractor also complicates natters still mare: when btrs. Becker finds her hugging hee husband and also Valentine Seott right in her own home. Valen- tine Scott very cleverly led every- one into endless troubles but finally explained everything to everybody's complete, entire, lasting' and per- manent satisfaction.
